Description

A Sustainable Estate in the southern Rocky Mountains of northern New Mexico can be yours. This Eco-Masterpiece is on 45 acres of native forest and wildlife habitat, situated within Angel Fire Resort, a family ski resort with 5-chairlifts and two new ones under construction, 86 ski trails and mountain biking mid-May thru mid-Oct. The Resort has an 18-hole PGA Golf Course, tennis center and country club with fine dining. The Angel Fire Airport is a 10-minute drive, with a jet-capable runway, now with 5 round-trips a week from Albuquerque. The property's privacy and seclusion are secured on all sides with the north boundary being the 130,000-acre historic CS Ranch. A seasonal creek runs through your private 6-acre meadow. Beautiful - Indoors and Out, Practical, Resilient. 14 original contiguous lots have been combined into the 45 acres. This legacy home has been built with many green and sustainable features and will continue to provide privacy, security, energy, food and enjoyment for years to come. Designed with the vision to survive the challenges of the future sets this solar sanctuary apart. With views of the Wheeler range, this mighty three-story 8,074 sq. ft Eco-block home is built to endure the elements and last for generations. There are 6,784 heated, finished sq. ft of dramatic living space with two interior greenhouses created by carefully selected local craftsmen. The first floor features an authentic adobe casita with its own full kitchen, custom cabinetry and furniture and a private entrance. The casita has been in a successful short-term rental program, with numerous five-star reviews. Within this total square footage on the first floor are 575 sq ft of utility and mechanical rooms, extensive working storage, and a 715 sq ft space designed as a separate apartment with its own entrance ready for you to complete to your liking. The overall floor plan is in the Photo gallery of this listing. There are 2,500 sq-ft of tiered, organic gardens in the walled outdoor area. In addition, two food and flower producing greenhouses are inside - one in the Atrium hot tub room, and a larger one off the main kitchen to facilitate preparing fresh food. The spacious light-filled kitchen has been fully upgraded with high quality appliances, special granite countertops, a large working island and walk-in pantry. This intelligent home has many solar and high-tech features - solar electricity and whole-house radiant floor heating, as well as passive solar features due to the homes' perfect solar alignment. The whole home is a green design, built with many sustainable, non-toxic features (see list in the Photo gallery) that provide energy efficiency, comfort, strength, and durability. Modern solar panel tracking racks with updated batteries cut utility bills by an estimated 50%, expandable to 100% off-grid. Solar Thermal panels quietly supply the primary heat day and night. The local utility, Kit Carson Electric Coop, operates a major 6MW solar farm microgrid with 6MW/hr battery back up, providing double-back up to the home's solar system. There is ultra high-speed fiber-optic internet/Wi-Fi throughout, enabling full-time working from home. You must see this to truly appreciate the craftsmanship in every room - from the vaulted ceilings, beautiful local beams and vigas, to the stunning floor-to-ceiling rock wall fireplace in the living room, all leading out to the pristine forest that wraps around the home. Taos is 24 miles away, offering eclectic shopping, art galleries, restaurants, museums, world-class Taos Ski Valley, and a modern hospital. Historic Santa Fe is just a 2-hour drive. Good news Mosquitoes, chiggers, no-see-ums, fleas and poisonous snakes choose not to live at this altitude. The average summer temperature in Angel Fire is 76 degrees with little humidity and gorgeous sunsets. Make an appointment to see this Eco-Masterpiece.
